[...] I would get the DX. The PDFS on the kindle 1 and 2 look bad but on the DX they look pretty good. Technical Document PDFs on the Kindle DX — Matthew Williams __________________ Cheap .22 LR fun. [...]

Hi,

Have you tried loading a PDF that came as an ILL, or off JSTOR?

You just sold a DX for amazon; you should get a kick back or something. This is what I’ve been waiting for, hope you still love it.

I should say the SPEECH reader does not work on PDFs.

No the reader does not work with PDFs and I don’t think there is anyway to zoom in on a PDF, if the fant is to small for the screen.

kindle put really the level very high. A PDF reader, that apparently can handle huge pdf files!! this is THE tool that EVERY scientists want!

How come noe one has done it before?

Anyway, Im from France, and here in Europe we have no kindle at all. What amazon is waiting for? waiting for that ice melts in summer, or that chicken have teeth?

They could sell dozens of millions of kindle here in europe as there are many public transports and scientist and business men would read in the public transports.. what the hell are they waiting for? )

Another question, I was especially interested in the text 2 speech option of the Kindle DX. Does it also work for PDFs? Does it work for PDFs with two columns?

Hi,
I am curious whether I should buy the Kindle DX. Like someone mentioned here, I am especially worried about the screen size, when reading PDFs. The rendered PDFs I have, have large margins. When printed on an A4, it’s okay, because the paper is much bigger than the screen. However, will the PDF be scaled down, including the margins, to fit into the screen? Or only the actual content (from the “middle” of the A4 paper) will be shown?

I’ve been testing these PDFs on DX a little too, and it looks like the bookmarks and links that I’d added to help get around the PDF are not retained on DX?

There’s no way to hang onto those jumps from the PDF book on Kindle DX? The only options are Go to beginning, Go to page, and that’s it?

Has anyone figured out how to get any PDF links or bookmarks to work on Kindle? Can I insert them on a desktop as metadata somehow, and get them working on Kindle?

Thanks for any ideas…
